Abstract
⺠A novel variational method for non-equilibrium classical systems is proposed. ⺠A functional is introduced whose extrema satisfy the Liouville equation. ⺠Trial functions are developed using multiscale methods. ⺠A general method for deriving coarse-grained kinetic equations is developed. ⺠Conditions on initial statistical state rendering Smoluchowski behavior are found.
